Cake and Turtle Bum!

So I had to get a picture of Sadie in her turtle bum tights, that her Aunt Mariah made her. They are so cute, but she seems to blow out of them anytime I am about to take a picture, so I put her in them right after her bath today, and they are already getting a little tight. She is growing so fast. So her is my ode to turtle bum.




Oh yes, and here are pictures of Evan enjoying his cupcake on his birthday. The mess was worth the cuteness!

Evan my 2 year old!!

Well my Ev-bot turned two today. Let's see...what do I love most about my Evan. Definitely his smile, it is probably the best cheesy grin I have ever seen. I love that he can say everything by saying nothing at all. I love that he loves his new little sister and tries to "pet" her anytime she is laying on the couch. I love the way he giggles when his daddy throws him about ten feet up in the air. I love the way he waves good-bye to everyone when he is heading downstairs to go to bed. I love the way he eats a McDonald's Cheeseburger, it is hilarious, you have to see it to know how funny it is. I love the way he likes to dip his food in ketchup with his pinkies up.

Evan is a one of a kind kid and we sure do love him. He may not talk yet, but he can express himself so well with his "faces". He can't walk yet, but boy does that kid crawl with stealth and get into everything. We love you Evan. Love Mom, Dad, James Micheal, Makayla, and Sadie. Here is a picture of my big boy on his birthday!

Adorableness and Family Picture

Ok, first for the adorableness:

This little sweetness if officially 6 weeks old today, and gave me her first camera smile. She is chunking out soo much already! No more newborn clothes and the 0-3 months I don't think will fit for more than a month more! She is growing up too fast already!! On a side note, my little Evan will be 2 tomorrow! BOOOOO!

And here is our first family picture with Sadie in it. Excuse the chubbiness of me and enjoy the chubbiness of my others, and yes, Russ, Evan has a major comb over that will be fixed soon!

Something to be Grateful For

I don't often get to personal in my blog postings. But something really touched me today about how I wanted to spend this coming year. Recently, I read off of someone's blog who I don't know, but I kinda blog-stock, about a tragic death of one of their beloved children. It really bothered me mostly because their little one reminded me a lot of my Evan. It just hurt my heart so much to see someone go through such a terrible tragedy, but reading about them and their faith in the Savior, just made me realize how little time I spend being grateful for my blessings. I just want to be thankful and have a better attitude about life in general. What a blessing my children are to me, and the fact that I can be with them eternally is an even greater blessing. So here are some things or someone's, I should say, that I am grateful for... Four Crazies piled up on Daddy!

Our newest little blessing Sadie!

My silly boys!

My Miss Makayla!
Today I am truly grateful for all I have been given, and hope I can remember this all year!

4 Weeks Old!

My little Sadie will be 4 weeks old tomorrow. Man, time flies bye once they are here. I can't believe how well Sadie already fits into our family. She loves her binky and to look at everything. We love you Sadie Baby! Here is a picture of my purple princess this morning!
